Halloween Sneak Peak

Halloween has long been underway at our house. Costumes are always a production and this year is no exception.  

So, here's a little sneak peak of my costume! Bonus points to whoever can guess what I'm going to be. 

First stop was the thrift store, where I found this yellow sweater. Then I went to the fabric store and discovered these BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES. LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THEY ARE. 

I also purchased the floral fabric (pictured above) and this pink fabric: 

The patterns I'm using for this project are the Colette Aster pattern (here it is, waiting to be taped together):

And Burda 114B (I cannot for the life of me figure out how to rotate this photo to be normal):

I found this pattern in the April 2013 BurdaStyle Magazine (yes, I hoard these magazines, please don't judge). 

So who can guess what my costume is? I'll give you a hint: Netflix.

Instagram Round Up: Berlin, Germany and Back to Switzerland, August 2015

After Barcelona, my family flew home and I went to Berlin to visit my friend for 5 days. #baguettesquad2k15 went #baguettesquadsolo. Then I flew back to Zurich to visit the family friends I had stayed with a couple weeks before.  

Home away from home. #Berlin #baguettesquad2k15 #baguettesquadgoessolo

Instagram Round Up: Barcelona, Spain August 2015

I'm back, I'm back with more! 

After 5 days in Switzerland, we flew from Geneva to Barcelona. In Barcelona, I found their Design museum, Museo del Disseny, and spent a wonderful day exploring the exhibits. 

"You can reach timelessness if you look for the essence of things and not the appearance. The appearance is transitory, the appearance is fashion, the appearance is trendiness, but the essence is timeless." #massimovignelli #designtourist #baguettesquad2k15
